Detroit Assurance Tailgate
Warning
The tailgate warning provides alerts when the vehicle
in front is being followed too closely.
The system gives warning when:
ACC is not active;
the vehicle is moving faster than 20 mph (32
km/h);
the driver follows a vehicle for longer than 10
seconds at a distance that can be traversed in
less than 2.6 seconds.
The system also warns when ACC is active, if:
the driver is overriding the distance control by
pressing on the accelerator pedal;
the vehicle is moving faster than 20 mph (32
km/h);
the driver follows a vehicle for longer than 10
seconds at a distance that can be traversed in
less than 2.6 seconds.
The system continues to give warnings every 20
seconds if the gap between the vehicles does not
increase.
The system does not give warning when:
the vehicle is moving slower than 20 mph (32
km/h);
another vehicle cuts in front;
the vehicle in front is moving away;
ACC distance control is active.
Detroit Assurance Active
Brake Assist (ABA)
Active Brake Assist Overview
IMPORTANT: The windshield must be clean,
unobstructed, and without damage for proper
operation of the multipurpose camera. No
objects or attachments should be mounted in
front of the forward radar and the radar covering
should be free of paint, stickers, mud, ice, or
snow.
ABA is active when the vehicle is on.
ABA uses fused camera and radar signals for
improved object recognition, enabling it, in some
cases, to recognize potential hazardous situations
faster than a driver. If the camera cannot positively
identify an object, radar signals alone are used. If the
camera becomes unplugged or otherwise disabled,
ABA is disabled.
ABA tracks both moving and stationary objects in the
vehicle’s path and, if necessary, engages in a
cascade of defensive actions in reaction to those
objects through:
1.
visual and auditory warnings;
2.
then partial braking;
3.
then full or emergency braking.
ABA has the capacity to recognize and engage in
emergency braking for moving and braking vehicles,
moving pedestrians, parked vehicles, and stopped
traffic. However, the system will not detect objects or
pedestrians in every situation. An ABA equipped
vehicle is not a substitute for cautious driving.
Active Brake Assist Safety Information
WARNING
Active Brake Assist (ABA) is intended only as an
aid for a conscientious and alert driver. The
driver is responsible for keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle in front, for the vehicle speed,
braking in a sufficient amount of time, and
remaining in the lane.
ABA does not take road and weather conditions
into account, nor the prevailing traffic situation.
The driver should always adapt their driving to
suit road and weather conditions.
The Detroit Assurance Collision Mitigation
System is not designed to warn about all
possible road hazards. Specifically, it is not
programmed to react to animals, oncoming
vehicles, or cross traffic, but it may do so.
Operate a vehicle equipped with Detroit
Assurance Collision Mitigation System as if the
vehicle were not equipped with a collision
mitigation system.
Failure to drive safely and use the system
properly could result in personal injury and/or
death and severe property damage.
